Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What typically fits inside this card holder? A: With approximate dimensions of 7 × 10 × 2 cm and a flap closure, it comfortably holds daily essentials such as 4–6 standard cards across the three card slots, a small stack of business cards, folded banknotes and a few receipts in the main compartment. Capacity varies by card thickness; avoid overfilling to keep the flap closing flat.
Q: Can it hold coins? A: There is no dedicated coin pocket. A couple of coins in the main compartment is possible but may add bulk and risk imprinting the leather over time. For regular coins, a coin pouch is recommended.
Q: Is Epi leather durable and water‑resistant? A: Epi leather is known for its textured, coated finish that resists everyday scratches and light rain, making it excellent for daily use. While resilient, it is not waterproof, so wipe dry after contact with moisture and avoid prolonged exposure to water.
Q: How should I care for Epi leather? A: Wipe gently with a soft, slightly damp, lint‑free cloth. Keep away from oils and alcohol‑based products such as perfumes and hand sanitiser. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity, ideally lightly stuffed to maintain shape. Light colours can be more sensitive to light over time.
Q: Will the bright colour fade? A: With proper storage away from strong light and heat, Epi leather retains colour well. As with most leathers, lighter tones are more sensitive to light; rotate use and store correctly when not in use.
Q: The date code is hard to read or missing—is that normal? A: On vintage small leather goods, heat‑stamped date codes can fade or become illegible with use. In addition, from March 2021 many Louis Vuitton items no longer feature a visible date code because the Maison transitioned to embedded microchips. Our specialists authenticate each piece using a thorough multi‑point inspection, so authenticity does not rely on a readable code alone.
Q: Is the snap closure safe for contactless and chip cards? A: The flap uses a standard press‑stud closure. Used as intended and without overfilling, it keeps contents secure and does not affect contactless or chip functionality.
Q: What is included with my purchase? A: Everything included is listed under the product information section on this page. If a box or dust bag is not listed there, it is not included—feel free to contact us for confirmation.
Q: Any tips to help it keep its shape? A: Do not overfill, especially at the corners. Epi leather is designed to stay structured rather than “break in,” so allow the flap to close without strain and rotate which cards sit in the outer slots to distribute wear.
